E-Verify is a free, Internet-based system operated by DHS in partnership with the Social Security Administration. E-Verify allows participating employers to electronically verify their employees’ employment authorization. Results are returned online within seconds.

E-Verify is the best method for employers to verify the employment authorization of their employees. E-Verify: Virtually eliminates Social Security mismatch letters; Improves the accuracy of wage and tax reporting; Protects jobs for authorized workers; and Helps U.S. employers maintain a legal workforce.

More than 96 percent of E-Verify verification queries receive immediate employment authorization. Employees who do not receive instant authorization and choose to correct their government records to confirm their employment authorization must be allowed to continue to work during this process.
